Title: Condiment holder
IPC: A47G19/24
Filed: 1945-12-05
Abstract: 602,571. Condiment holders. DAWSON, L. E. Dec. 5, 1945, No. 32919. [Class 18] A holder for condiments comprises a flexible outer shell which encloses a rigid container having a discharge opening and apertures communicating with the inside of the outer shell, so that when the holder is inverted and the outer shell compressed, the condiment is discharged under pressure of air. Valve means may be provided for closing the discharge opening when the holder is not in use. As shown in Fig. 2 the container 8 is connected to a rigid neck portion 7 joined to the flexible outer shell 5 at the top of the holder, the neck portion being provided with discharge openings 13 and a screwed filling plug 11. Apertures 9 communicating with the inside of the flexible shell are provided in the top of the container 8, and a flap valve 18 is positioned in the base of the shell 5. To discharge the contents the holder is inverted and the fiexible shell compressed so that air passes through the communicating apertures 9 to discharge the condiment through the openings 13. An adjustable valve stem 33, Fig. 5 may be connected to a flexible base portion 38 of the container 26 to support a valve head 31 projecting through a discharge aperture 30 on the top of the holder. An air passage 36 along the centre of the stem 33 communicates with the inside of the shell and the container. In this case the pressure of the air causes the flexible bottom of the container to expand into the container and raise the valve, air passing through a bleed hole 37 in the stem to discharge the contents. Alternatively the container may be of relatively hard rubber, Fig. 7 (not shown), and an adjustable filler cap on the top of the holder may be provided with a flexible cover having a central aperture. The head of the valve mounted on the stem normally closes the aperture but when the outer shell is compressed, the air pressure raises the cover of the valve head to permit the condiment to be discharged through the aperture.

Abstract: 1,102,475. Electricity supply meters. SANGAMO WESTON Ltd. Aug. 20, 1964 [Aug. 20, 1963], No. 32957/63. Heading G1Q. A system for metering electricity supply includes means for measuring both the energy supplied, in kilowatt-hours, and the time integral of the square of the current flow, in amperesquared-hours, as a basis for a tariff in which both quantities are relevant to the charge made. The Specification shows that the ampere-squaredhour value is greater for an irregular than for a regular demand of the same total energy in a given period, so that the proposed tariff favours the user whose demand does not fluctuate: the ampere-squared-hour value also allows the wattless current in a reactive load to be charged for. Fig. 2 depicts a combined kilowatt-hour and ampere-squared-hour meter in which rotor disc 22 is acted on by potential and current coils 16 and 17, registering kilowatt hours on counter 18, and rotor disc 28 is acted on by current coils 40 and 20, registering ampere-squared-hours on counter 21. It is possible to cause both meter elements to drive a common counter in accordance with a required tariff, either by making the coil pairs 16, 17 and 40, 20 operate at spaced positions over a common rotor, or by mounting the two rotors 22, 28 on a common shaft, or againas in Fig. 4 (not shown) - by the use of a kilowatt-hour meter 15 of the form shown in Fig. 2 with an additional current coil on the same core 26 as the potential coil 16. It is also possible to apply the invention to a three phase supply, e.g. by the use of an arrangement Fig. 5 (not shown) generally similar to that of Fig. 2 but with each shaft carrying three rotor discs driven by appropriate coils connected to the respective phases.

Abstract: 481,685. Plug valves. RIGGS, W., (trading as GIRDLESTONE & CO.), RIGGS, T. C., and MORRIS, A. G. Dec. 1. 1936, No. 32988. [Class 135] A four - way plug valve for reversing the flow through, for example, a refrigerating system, comprises a barrel 10 with pairs of oppositely disposed ports 12, 14 and 16, 18 which are normally in communication through passages 24, 26 in the plug. Further sinuous passages 30, 32 on the surface of the plug are adapted on partial rotation of the plug to place port 12 in communication with port 18 and port 16 in communication with port 14 to reverse the direction of flow in circuit 34, which is supplied, for example, from a pump circuit 28. The unbroken parts of the plug surface between the passages 30, 32 and the passages 24, 26 are narrower than the ports 12, 14, 16 and 18 so that in an intermediate position of the plug each of the ports is in communication with two of the passages in the plug, with the result that the fluid can circulate idly through these passages.

Abstract: 1449406 Amine ethers of 3,4-dihydro-1- benzoxepin-5-one oximes CERPHA 31 July 1974 [31 July 1973 22 May 1974] 33750/74 Heading C2C Novel compounds are the free amines of Formula I and their acid addition salts wherein R is halogen or C 1-4  alkoxy, n is 2 or 3 and Z 1  and Z 2 , which may be the same or different, are C 1-4  alkyl or Z 1  and Z 2  together with the common nitrogen atom form a 5 to 7 membered ring optionally containing a second hetero atom, the compounds having either the cis or trans configuration relative to the benzene nucleus. The compounds of Formula I are obtained by effecting intramolecular acylation on a γ- phenoxybutyric acid which is R-substituted in the para-position to produce a compound of Formula II reacting the latter with a compound of formula H 2 N-O-A, in which A is H or the group -(CH 2 )n-NZ 1 Z 2 , the reaction when A is -(CH 2 ) n -NZ 1 Z 2  being carried out in an alcoholic solvent in an acid medium and at the reflux temperature of the solvent and when A is H being effected in pyridine or ethanol; and reacting the resulting intermediate, obtained when A is H, with a compound of formula X-(CH 2 ) n -NZ 1 Z 2 , in which X is halogen, in the presence of a base. The products of this preparation are at least 95% in the cis configuration and the cis isomer may be isolated by recrystallization of a cis/trans mixture of acid addition salts of the free amine. The trans isomer may be isolated similarly by fractional crystallization following partial isomerization in an anhydrous acid medium (e.g. HCl/ChCl 3 ) after the introduction of the oxime function. Examples describe the preparation of compounds of Formula I and intermediate ketones and oximes wherein R is Cl, Br, or CH 3 O and Z 1  and Z 2  are each CH 3  or C 2 H 5  or -NZ 1 Z 2  represents a morpholino or pyrrolidino group.

IPC: G01B5/04
Filed: 1932-02-06
Abstract: 396,777. Zeroizing-mechanism. WALTER, R. H., 121, Kingsway, London, and RUSSELL, N. L., Rusrene, Wickham Court Road, West Wickham, Kent. Feb. 6, 1932, No.33997. Divided on 387,358. [Class 106 (i).] One or more of the indicators of a length-measuring machine are returned to zero by the shortest path. As shown, the shaft 19 is rotated through gearing 20, 21 one revolution for each unit length of fabric &c. measured by the drum 18. This shaft 19 carries a fractions dial 22 for the salesman and drives through gearing 23 another fractions dial 25 for the customer. The two units dials 28, 33 are connected to skew gearing 30, 31 and are driven by a ten-toothed wheel 37 and a single tooth 38 on the sleeve of the dial 22. The two tens dials 29, 34 are connected by skew gearing 35, 36 and are driven by a ten-toothed wheel 49 and a single tooth 48 on a shaft 45 geared one-to-one with the shaft 32. When the lever 58 is depressed to cut the fabric a finger 98 on the shaft 57 lowers the pressure roller 83 and through lever and links 60, 62, 61, 76, 78 rocks two shafts 63, 79. The shaft 63 moves the tooth 38 out of gear with the wheel 37 to allow the fractions dials to be zeroized by means of the spring- pulled lever 54 and a heart-shaped cam 52 secured to the gear 21. Should the cam 52 be in a dead-centre position, a finger 64 on the shaft 63 hits a pin 65 on the wheel and moves the cam from such position. The shaft 79 first removes a stop pawl 51 from a ten-toothed wheel 46 and the units dials 28, 33 are zeroized by a lever 67 and an eccentric pin 68 on a disc 69 on the shaft 45 the exact zero position being determined by a spring wire 71 and a notched disc 47 also on the shaft 45. The stop pawl 50 is then moved clear of the ten-toothed wheel 49 and a coil spring (not shown) rotates the shaft 27 back to a zero stop 116. Should the pin 68 stop in a dead-centre position it is displaced by a light spring 74 as soon as the shaft 45 is freed. Specification 387,358 is referred to.
